Dino Hunters

The Dino Hunter Mission Playset was initially released in 1993 by Hasbro as a Toys 'R Us exclusive, and featured repaints of Ambush v1 and Low-Light v3, in addition to a PVC dinosaur and a repainted Desert Fox vehicle. Towards the end of its run, Hasbro began "borrowing" ideas from a lot of other successful action figure lines to keep the G.I. Joe brand both relevant and topical, and some feel it hurt the line more than helped it. Jurassic Park was wildly popular at the time, and if ever there was a wagon-jumping franchise, the late days of the original G.I. Joe line was it.

Being neither of these figures were offered as modern sculpts (and there's STILL Jurassic Park toys on the shelves in this scale in the year 2020), I felt both of them needed an update.
